It's important for Galesburg to get out and protest. Do we want the president to simply send in the troops any time he feels like it? It's one thing that we don't agree on what constitutes an out-of-control demonstration - what happened in LA was never out of control. It's more that he's picking a fight deliberately so that he can show that he'll use the Marines on his own people without hesitation. We are the enemy. The constitution is the enemy. Civility is not part of his consideration.

I'm a Door Dash driver in Galesburg. I've gotten to know the workers at most of the fast-food places. That's not to say anything, really, except that I love the place as a place to live and work. I would say that about the USA in general, as I have been in other places, except that it is coming apart at the seams so quickly these days. It's like it's devolving into civil war.

Stay peaceful. Stay cool. Don't back down. We have our constitution, and we believe in it, even if our own president doesn't.
